Bash Unit Testing Tool
butt [-hlsvVw] [--color[=WHEN]] FILE
Bash Unit Testing Tool runs and evaluates a set of commands according to expected results. It can serve as a CI testing component of Bash scrip development.
The 'butt' command is an alternative to the 'bats' command, offering the following improvements:
- Predefined comparison (assert) functions
- Distinguish standard and error output
- Verbose mode
- Advanced user functions
- --color[=WHEN], --colour[=WHEN]
Use markers to highlight command status; WHEN is 'always', 'never', or 'auto'.
- -h, --help
Print help.
- -l NUM, --limit=NUM
Limit the number of running tests.
- -s NUM, --skip=NUM
Skip the number of tests.
- -v, --verbose
Verbose mode.
- -V, --version
Print version number.
- -w PATH, --working-dir=PATH
